Thanks it’s powder coat. I’ve never had a set of wheels painted, always gone with powder coat

Powder coating is a completely different process, for refinishing objects like wheels. Very simply put they use a special type of spray gun, which applies an electrostatic charge to a supply of coloured powder particles(a mix including tiny coloured plastic beads), which are then attracted to the grounded metal part. The parts are then put in an oven/Ultraviolet light to cure. Due to the excessive heat this process cant be used on plastics such as the wheel centre caps (There are some powdercoating processes that now work on plastics but are far less common and I've not seen a wheel refurb company have that tech) Unfortunately I dont get that sort of info when selecting the colour at the wheel refurb company and they dont like to share the exact brands etc as not many refurb places offer a decent gold/bronze colour so they are protective over it from what I can see.

Yea that combo looks close too, but it’s very dependent on lighting. I’ve been looking in prismatic’s gallery and that combo is definitely the closest. |

DAY 89
My Geraldsproject controller is here for the facelift dial cluster I have fitted. It gives me a joystick and select button to navigate the menus etc and will be installed in the blanking plate inbetween the traction control buttons. It took nearly 2 months to arrive the USA but im glad its here. Now I just need the car to fit it to. Untitled by James Baker, on Flickr I also finally have a USB retention cable that I am hoping will work this time.

Day 104
Not a massive update, the bodyshop have removed all the glass, removed any dents, sanded down the original paint, welded up the boot spoiler holes and are literally masking up the car as I type this. Paint will be done this week hopefully with it due back to me possible next week. It's been with the bodyshop for a month now, I didn't give them any deadline as I was happy for them to take their time and fit it in between other work, hence its taken longer than normal.

Also had the stock spoiler mounting holes welded up as I dont need them anymore as the wing I have clamps to the edges of the boot lid and dont want to be left with unsightly holes or none matching bungs.

Day 105
Yesterday I received a short video of the car in the paint booth. The finish on the paint is spot on, so glossy and it hasn't even been polished yet. Here is that short teaser clip, the colour is hidden for now, reveal coming soon via youtube. Autoworx have done a great job, I cant wait to see it in person and start rebuilding it. They are now painting all the individual bits like doors, bonnet, dash etc, hopefully it should be back with me pretty soon.
